[Scheming maid + lustful CEO]
In her previous life, Nan Xi was honest and hardworking, yet bullied by everyone. First, Cui Ning, the mistress of Chunhe Manor, pushed her down a hill and broke both her legs. Then her family sold her to an old bachelor, and she eventually died a miserable death from illness, meeting a wretched end.
Reborn in the year she worked as a maid at the manor, she swore to get revenge. She would pay back everyone who had ever bullied her, one by one.
If Cui Ning was cheating on her husband, then Nan Xi would just steal Cui Ning's man.
Quan Qingye had also stayed faithful to Cui Ning for twelve years. Such a devoted, powerful man was hers for the taking if Cui Ning didn't want him.
She used her sweet, delicate appearance to play the innocent flower, and even Quan Qingye, a man driven by lust, fell completely for her.
While Cui Ning fooled around with another man at the top of the hill, Nan Xi and Quan Qingye made love on Cui Ning's bed.
When Cui Ning picked a fight and deliberately punished her by making her copy Buddhist scriptures, Nan Xi got Quan Qingye to wrap an arm around her waist and teach her to write with a brush, guiding her hand himself.
When Cui Ning pretended to be sick and demanded that Nan Xi stay up to watch over her, Nan Xi pretended to faint and got Quan Qingye to carry her to the large bed nearby.
Once everything had settled, Nan Xi could no longer stand the man's increasingly intense affection. She promptly packed her things and prepared to run away.
But when she woke the next day, she found herself being kissed passionately by the man. His low, husky voice was tinged with laughter. "Baby, you used me and now you want to run?"
